Exploring the efficacy of a paraprofessional delivered telephonic psychoeducational intervention on emotional well-being in African American breast cancer survivors.

Our results and approach advance supportive care interventions by illuminating the benefits and limitations of a paraprofessional delivered, licensed professional supervised psycho-educational intervention. Additionally, as emotional well-being is multifaceted, the individual item analysis approach used in this study provides insight into specific areas of improvement and vulnerability within the emotional well-being domain of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Our findings can facilitate the development of culturally responsive and patient-centered survivorship care, psychosocial-oncology interventions and care-tailored to the emotional well-being and unmet needs of medically vulnerable and underserved patients.
